Application deadline : 5/12/2023
All applications will be reviewed after the application deadline.
Final participants will be announced after the review no later than 5/15/24.

SMP is centered around a week-long Vacational Bible School (VBS) held during an annual summer mission trip to Korea. 

A unique team of volunteers from the States fly to Korea for two weeks to visit the kids, train VBS volunteers at Dongmyung Children’s Home, and run VBS.

The program aims to develop the untapped potential of the Dongmyung volunteers by providing them with annual training. 

Many of these volunteers go on to organize and oversee worship services and Bible studies for kids.

  • 1. Can I bring my child(ren) to the SMP trip? 자녀와 함께 참석할수 있나요?
    If the applicant is an elementary student, both parents or guardians MUST join the SMP. (Interview may apply) 초등학생의 경우 (만 10세까지) 부모 혹은 가디언 두명이 꼭 참석 요망 If the applicant is a middle school student, one of parents or guardians MUST join the SMP. 중학생일경우(만 11세 ~ 만 15세), 부모 혹은 가디언 한명 꼭 참석 요망
  • 2. What if I cannot join the trip for the entire two weeks? 만약 2주 내내 참여할 수 없다면요?
    SMP requires extensive teamwork and collaboration between all participants throughout the program. To provide our undivided attention to the children, we ask all participants to complete pre-requisite training and join the two full weeks of the SMP in Korea. SMP는 프로그램 전체에 걸쳐 폭넓은 팀워크와 모든 참가자 간의 협업을 필요로 합니다. 아이들에게 변함없는 관심을 제공하기 위해, 우리는 모든 참가자들에게 사전 필수 교육을 이수하고 한국에서 열리는 2주간의 SMP에 모두 참여할 것을 요구 합니다.
  • 3. This is my first time hearing about YANA. Can I still participate? 처음 야나 미니스트리에 대해 알게 되었습니다. 올해 SMP에 참여할 수 있나요?
    First of all, thank you for your interest in YANA Ministry! If this is your first time learning about YANA, we recommend you first navigate all YANA Projects (link to https://www.yanaministry.org/yana). We highly recommend those who have already participated in at least one project with YANA in the past, primarily because SMP requires a significant commitment to be prepared and get ready to meet the children in person.  제일 먼저, 야나에 관심을 가져주셔서 감사합니다! YANA에 대해 처음 알게 되신 경우 먼저 모든 YANA 프로젝트(https://www.yanaministry.org/yana) 링크)를 탐색하는 것을 권장합니다. SMP는 직접 아이들을 만나기 위해 수많은 준비와 깊은 책임감을 요하고 있어, 적어도 한 개의 YANA 프로젝트에 참여한 경험이 있는 분들을 적극 추천합니다.
  • 4. I am not a Christian. Can I still join the team? 크리스찬이 아니어도 참석 가능하나요?
    Absolutely! As long as you are willing to pray together to experience God as one team. 물론입니다! 한 팀으로 하나님을 경험하기 위해 기꺼이 함께 기도할 수 있다면 참여하실 수 있습니다.
  • 5. If my whole family wants to apply to SMP, can we fill out the application as one? 가족이 다 SMP에 지원하려 하는데, 한개의 신청서를 사용해도 될까요?
    Each member of the family should fill out the application separately.  가족 각자가 신청서를 따로 작성해야 합니다.
  • 6. What if I get sick or injured? SMP 기간중 아프거나 다치면 어떻게 하나요?
    While we'll do our utmost to offer a safe environment to all participants throughout the travel, emergencies can happen. If your healthcare provider does not provide health coverage for an international trip to Korea, we recommend that you consider having travel medical insurance at your own expense. We do not offer separate medical insurance for the participants. 여행 중 모든 참가자에게 안전한 환경을 제공하기 위해 최선을 다하겠지만, 비상사태는 언제나 발생할 수 있습니다. 귀하의 개인 의료보험사에서 국제 여행을 위한 건강 보험을 제공하지 않는 경우, 자비로 여행 의료 보험에 가입하는 것을 고려해 볼 것을 권장합니다. 참가자를 위한 별도의 의료보험은 제공하지 않습니다.
